[0033] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0034] The present invention is developed on the premise of not violating the safety specifications of (National Specification Standards for Tank Vehicles for Transporting Liquid Hazardous Goods).

[0035] After liquid nitrogen is dispersed, the temperature formed in the air is minus 65 - 125 degrees, and its function is to quickly cool down, isolate air, and extinguish flammable substances.

[0036] The heat insulation layer on the tank body refers to: detachable protective quartz heat insulation tiles arranged on the tank body. A semi-enclosed space with small mesh eyes is formed between the heat insulation layer and the single layer of the tank body, so that liquid nitrogen can enter each area of the tank body, and it also prevents the formation of an expansion space in the interlayer under mild combustion conditions, prevents the formation of an expansion steam flow, and the outer cover falls off. Therefore, the heat insulation layer is designed as an armor heat insulation tile with air holes. Through multiple tiny air holes, the expansion gas in the semi-enclosed space can be released, and at the same time, the liquid nitrogen in the large air flow can be maintained in the space. After the space is filled with liquid nitrogen medium and cooled down, the liquid nitrogen and the water vapor in the air form an ice layer, and the tiny mesh eyes are sealed by the ice layer, thereby fundamentally blocking the oxygen combustion conditions and controlling the fire situation.

[0037] Please refer to together Figures 1 to 4, the intelligent liquid nitrogen fire prevention and extinguishing device for inflammable and explosive dangerous goods transportation vehicles provided by the present invention will be described. The intelligent liquid nitrogen fire prevention and extinguishing device for inflammable and explosive dangerous goods transportation vehicles includes a detection mechanism 1, a liquid nitrogen mechanism 2, and an anti-collision buffer mechanism 3. The detection mechanism 1 is arranged at the front and rear ends of the tank body 4 for containing inflammable and explosive dangerous goods, and is used to detect the impact pressure acting on the tank body 4 from the outside and the temperature of the tank body 4. The limiting ranges of the impact pressure and the temperature of the tank body 4 can be preset on the detection mechanism 1; the liquid nitrogen mechanism 2 is arranged at the upper end of the tank body 4 and is connected to the detection mechanism 1. The liquid nitrogen mechanism 2 is connected in parallel with the self-provided compressed air system on the transport vehicle for transporting the tank body 4. The liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen mechanism 2 is pushed towards the tank body 4 by means of the air pressure of the compressed air system and enters the semi-closed space 9 (interlayer liquid nitrogen discharge space) between the single layer of the tank body 4 and the outer armor. Then, the liquid nitrogen forms an ice gas layer to surround the single layer of the tank body 4 and achieve self-rescue, changing the temperature of the tank body in a short time and blocking the explosion conditions formed by the high-temperature expansion of combustion. The operation of the liquid nitrogen mechanism 2 is controlled by the detection mechanism 1. When the temperature and impact pressure of the tank body 4 detected by the detection mechanism 1 are within the limiting range, the detection mechanism 1 commands the liquid nitrogen mechanism 2 to operate; the anti-collision buffer mechanism 3 is arranged on the transport vehicle or the tank body 4 and is used to protect the tank body 4 from being collided during transportation and buffer the torsional force and inertial force acting on the tank body 4.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the intelligent liquid nitrogen fire prevention and extinguishing device for inflammable and explosive dangerous goods transportation vehicles provided by the present invention can timely provide passive buffer protection for the tank body 4 during an accident, so that the outer shell of the tank body 4 is not damaged and leaked to the greatest extent. By detecting the external temperature of the tank body 4 and the pressure acting on the tank body 4 through the detection mechanism 1, and through the preset limiting range, it can be determined whether to activate the liquid nitrogen mechanism 2. If an accident occurs and the driver and passengers are trapped or cannot directly operate manually, the temperature of the outer surface of the tank body 4 rises and / or the pressure on the tank body 4 increases, then the liquid nitrogen control valve 23 is automatically opened to release the stored liquid nitrogen, so that the surrounding closed space 9 (interlayer liquid nitrogen discharge space) of the tank body 4 is quickly cooled to -65 to -125 degrees Celsius, ensuring that the temperature around the tank body 4 drops suddenly, blocking the entry of sufficient oxygen and the combustion conditions, and preventing a violent explosion caused by the thermal fusion expansion due to the increase in combustion temperature, winning time to wait for professional rescue; the anti-collision buffer mechanism 3 can reduce and relieve the malignant collision accidents of the carrier from different directions, and minimize the inertia and direct damage of the outer shell of the tank body 4 itself, even in the case of non-violent ordinary tipping, reducing the accident leakage rate of the oil or chemical dangerous goods transportation vehicle of the tank body 4.

[0039] The above-mentioned outer armor can be understood as a heat preservation layer. The liquid nitrogen mechanism 2 and the two-way inlets of the self-provided compressed air outlet on the transport vehicle for transporting the tank body 4 are combined and enter the main pipe to push the liquid nitrogen medium to run at high speed in the pipe. The closed space 9 is a kind of interlayer liquid nitrogen discharge space.

[0040] For the setting of the limited range, the following situations can be referred to: For the temperature setting, a temperature range slightly higher than the temperature during daily transportation or the ambient temperature in summer can be set; for the pressure setting, the multiple of the impact force on the tank body 4 exceeding the load weight of the tank body 4 can be set. This pressure refers to the extreme impact pressure, that is, the pressure threshold when the tank body 4 collides and twists. If this threshold is exceeded, it can be considered as the limit pressure, and then the liquid nitrogen mechanism 2 is activated and plays a role. By setting the liquid nitrogen mechanism 2, the conditions for the explosion of the tank body 4 can be blocked. If the explosion conditions are blocked, the tank body 4 will not cause an explosion, preventing major accidents from occurring.

[0041] The air pressure output by the compressed air system on the transport vehicle pushes the liquid nitrogen into the closed space 9 (the interlayer liquid nitrogen discharge space) of the tank body 4. The pressure of the compressed air system is about 20 MPa. Under the condition of the compressed air accompanying pressure, the liquid nitrogen reaches the semi-closed space 9, with a certain jet flow orientation. The surface interlayer space of the tank body 4 is filled and rapidly cooled to -65 - 125 degrees Celsius, ensuring that the temperature around the tank body 4 drops suddenly, cutting off the combustion conditions, quickly cooling the tank body 4 to extinguish the instantaneous combustion conditions of oil products and flammable products, and ensuring that due to the increase in combustion temperature and fusion expansion, a violent explosion does not occur. Liquid nitrogen at about -100 degrees Celsius can also react with the water in the air to form a local frozen seal for the fuel leakage point.

The compressed air self-equipped by the original vehicle is used as a pusher to assist the liquid nitrogen delivery, and can push the liquid nitrogen to each area of the tank body. After the liquid nitrogen control valve 23 is opened, the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen storage tank 22 is output to the liquid nitrogen output conduit 26, and the liquid nitrogen itself pressure and the output air pressure of the compressed air system are balanced to deliver to each area of the tank body 4; the compressed air solenoid valve 24 is arranged between the compressed air system and the liquid nitrogen output conduit 26 for opening control and assisting the accompanying compressed air system to deliver to the liquid nitrogen output conduit 26; one end of the mixed gas delivery assembly 25 is communicated with the outlet of the liquid nitrogen output conduit 26, and the other end is a free end and is located between the single layer of the tank body 4 and the heat insulation layer for delivering a liquid nitrogen gas flow into the semi-closed space 9 (interlayer liquid nitrogen discharge space). The frame body 21 can be a frame body, and the outer armor is detachably connected with the frame body 21. The frame body 21 is detachably connected with an armor 27, and the armor 27 is arranged on the transport vehicle.

[0045] The liquid nitrogen storage tank 22 is a special liquid nitrogen container for storing liquid nitrogen and for regular inspection. The liquid nitrogen control valve 23 is a liquid nitrogen automatic control valve and can achieve automatic control.

A plurality of nozzles 252 are all communicated with the main pipeline 251, and the liquid nitrogen in the main pipeline 251 is sprayed into the closed space 9 (interlayer liquid nitrogen discharge space) through the plurality of nozzles 252.

[0047] As a specific implementation manner of the liquid nitrogen intelligent fire prevention and extinguishing device for an inflammable and explosive dangerous goods transport vehicle provided by the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4The anti-collision buffer mechanism 3 includes a front inertia pressure buffer mechanism 31 and a rear inertia pressure buffer mechanism 32.

[0048] Specifically, the front and rear inertial external forces refer to the impact forces at the front and rear ends of the tank body 4 , and both the front inertial pressure buffer mechanism 31 and the rear inertial pressure buffer mechanism 32 can play a buffering role.

[0049] As a specific embodiment of the liquid nitrogen intelligent fire prevention and extinguishing device for inflammable and explosive dangerous goods transport vehicles provided by the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The tank body 4 can slide in a short distance along the length direction of the transport vehicle with the help of external force (impact force acting on the tank body 4 from the outside), and the anti-collision buffer mechanism 3 also includes a front steel spring 33 in the base track and a rear steel spring 34 in the base track; one end of the front steel spring 33 in the base track is arranged at the bottom of the front end of the tank body 4, and the other end is connected to the front end of the transport vehicle frame (front steel rail foundation), which is used to buffer the pressure acting on the front end of the tank body 4; one end of the rear steel spring 34 in the base track is arranged at the bottom of the rear end of the tank body 4, and the other end is connected to the rear end of the transport vehicle frame (rear steel rail foundation), which is used to buffer the pressure acting on the rear end of the tank body 4.

[0054] As a specific embodiment of the intelligent liquid nitrogen fire prevention and extinguishing device for transport vehicles of inflammable and explosive dangerous goods provided by the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a basic track 5 of the tank body 4 is fixedly arranged on the transport vehicle frame. The track 5 is arranged along the front and rear length direction of the tank body 4. A slider 6 for sliding connection with the track 5 is arranged at the bottom end of the tank body 4. The track 5 is fixed on the vehicle frame through a locking member 7. The slider 6 is fixed at the bottom end of the tank body 4 through the locking member 7. An anti-disengagement component is arranged on the track 5, and the anti-disengagement component is used to prevent the base of the tank body 4 from moving and slipping off the track 5. The track 5 is a track for installing the bottom of the basic part of the transport vehicle tank body 4 and is made of a hard asbestos product insulation and anti-spark material. The track 5 is an anti-spark track 5.

[0055] The track is a special load-bearing track, the slider is made of safe and high-temperature-resistant quartz material, and the anti-disengagement component plays a role in safe fixation to ensure safe driving within the normal limit. When the external impact exceeds the limit pressure range, the anti-disengagement component disengages from the tank body 4 and the track 5, and the tank body 4 slides back and forth a small distance along the track 5 by jacking the steel spring in the cylinder to buffer the inertial pressure. The track 5 is made of high-temperature-resistant quartz material.

[0056] A preset stress insurance bolt is provided at the bottom end basic support of the tank body 4 and is in a preset state with the track 5. The track 5 is fixed on the vehicle frame through a locking member 7. The base of the tank body 4 is restricted in the anti-disengagement track 5 through the concave and convex grooves and is fixed at the bottom end of the tank body 4 through the locking member 7. An anti-disengagement component is arranged on the track 5, and the anti-disengagement component is used to prevent the tank body 4 from slipping off the track 5. When the anti-disengagement component is subjected to an ultimate impact exceeding the preset stress for ensuring driving stability, the base of the tank body 4 can slide in the forward and reverse directions on the track 5, and the impact force is buffered, released, and decomposed by the front and rear bases and the stress steel springs in the middle of the front and rear tank bodies 4.

[0057] Specifically, the track 5 is made of high-temperature-resistant quartz material, allowing the slider 6 or the tank body 4 to slide a certain distance on the slideway. This distance is limited. Beyond this range, the movement of the tank body 4 will be restricted. Only by setting it like this can it be ensured that the tank body 4 slides on the track 5 and buffers the pressure acting on the tank body 4 during the sliding.

[0058] As a specific embodiment of the intelligent liquid nitrogen fire prevention and extinguishing device for inflammable and explosive dangerous goods transportation vehicles provided by the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the anti-collision buffer mechanism 3 further includes a frame-type support column buffer assembly 35. There are multiple frame-type support column buffer assemblies 35, which are independent arc-shaped buffer frame types. They are all arranged circumferentially along the outer wall of the tank body 4 in the closed space 9 (interlayer liquid nitrogen discharge space). The bottom end is connected to the single-layer outer wall of the tank body 4 through a steel spring wrapped with buffer rubber, and the top end is connected to the inner wall of the thermal insulation layer. It provides support for the pipelines of the liquid nitrogen mechanism, maintains the buffer distance for the thermal insulation layer to bear external forces, and is used to buffer the pressures in different directions acting on the thermal insulation layer.

[0059] The frame-type support column buffer assembly 35 is a multiple-arc frame-type protection body with buffer devices. The bottom end is connected to the force-bearing keel structure of the tank body 4 as an anti-collision buffer support point, and is suspended and fixedly connected through a buffer device with a specially wrapped rubber steel spring. At the same time, the structure also provides support for the fixed installation of the injection pipelines of the liquid nitrogen mechanism 2, ensuring that there is a certain transmission space distance for the liquid nitrogen gas inside the tank body 4, and is used to fix the outermost removable heat insulation armor, so that the internal space and the outer removable armor have a certain internal bearing pressure.

[0060] The rubber-wrapped steel spring can prevent collision and ignition with rubber material, avoiding the generation of fire sources. The frame-type support column buffer assembly 35 provides support for the pipelines of the liquid nitrogen mechanism to prevent the pipelines from being flattened. The pressures in different directions acting on the tank body 4 refer to the impact forces in different directions on the tank body 4.

[0061] For collisions, fishtailing, twisting of the vehicle from different directions, generally without rolling over, by setting multiple frame-type support column buffer assemblies 35, the left and right impact and twisting forces can be instantaneously buffered at the waist, which can play a role in protecting the tank body 4, preventing the leakage of the tank body 4, and playing a role in shock absorption.

[0062] The frame-type support column buffer assembly 35 is internally provided with a steel spring, which mainly plays an auxiliary role in fixing the tank body 4. For large-amplitude left and right swings of a certain intensity, the basic support arm can buffer and suppress the centrifugal force of the tank body 4, reduce the large-amplitude left and right swings generated during vehicle collisions, and reduce the probability of tipping over.

The protection buffer assemblies 10 are used to buffer the pressure acting on the tank body 4. The front steel spring 33 in the basic track and the rear steel spring 34 in the basic track can be connected to the anti-collision steel cross beam 8. The supported suspension means providing support for the protection buffer assembly 10 and supporting a certain height.

[0064] There is a certain distance between the anti-collision steel cross beam 8 and the tank body 4. Through the hollow energy-absorbing aluminum alloy body on the side periphery, the protection and buffer assembly 10 is a buffer device for buffering the impact force from the rear, left and right sides.

[0065] The intelligent liquid nitrogen fire prevention and extinguishing device for transport vehicles of inflammable and explosive dangerous goods is also applicable to the software and hardware use of different media such as vehicle-mounted carbon dioxide fire extinguishing and vehicle-mounted dry powder fire extinguishing, such as automatic detection, automatic actuators, and supporting injection fluid pipelines.

[0066] Specifically, the anti-collision steel cross beam 8 is internally provided with large-gap steel springs, and the overall structure of the hollow honeycomb steel plate has an energy-absorbing effect on direct collisions. The protection and buffer assembly 10 includes a horizontally arranged spring member and a vertically arranged spring member, which can play a role in buffering the tank body 4 in the horizontal direction and also in the vertical direction.

[0067] The above-mentioned outer armor can be understood as the armor 27.

[0068] The present invention also provides a transport vehicle, which includes a vehicle body for transporting inflammable and explosive dangerous goods, and also includes an intelligent liquid nitrogen fire prevention and extinguishing device for transport vehicles of inflammable and explosive dangerous goods provided on the vehicle body.

The equipment principle can also be matched with the application of carbon dioxide medium, dry powder and other fire extinguishing media. When a vehicle collision or other accidents occur, it can protect the tank body 4 in the first time, prevent leakage, and minimize the losses caused by combustion and explosion, and ensure the safety of the surrounding environment and other life and property of the transport vehicle.

[0070] Generally, a total monitoring instrument panel, a real-time transmission monitor for vehicle-mounted satellite positioning of dangerous goods, a radio frequency analysis front and rear ranging warning device are equipped on the transport vehicle, and there are also a liquid nitrogen storage guarantee device, a lithium battery pack power supply, a tank body 4 relief and maintenance valve, a liquid nitrogen wave attenuation curved partition board and a liquid nitrogen inventory electronic pressure sensor.
